Virtual Decadence
Published on 02/26/10 at 04:29
Nothing to add on this point.
Like everyone else I would have liked an XLR DI output and a switch to disconnect the simulation of HP. But it's not so annoying.
UTILIZATION
The least we can say is that the settings are effective. Browse the different sound "Ampeg" is not an empty word.
The manual is not used much. The small cards provided you give initial guidance for different types of sounds. Useful for understanding the knob "Character".
SOUND QUALITY
It's been a while since I seek her ZE. I only play on Rickenbacker 4003, a bass too specific to get by with any amp, preamp or effect. I love my Ashdown amp (although I have good range above and especially the 4X10 rather than 1x15). I could find with several settings for my cover band in which I need her very distinctive 60's but also more rock that moved the 70's to today. At the mediator, a Rick it goes almost everywhere (the switch "vintage" to me "time travel").
In my other group, I needed a big sound with lots of growl and a mediator in this well for finger passages groove.
I have an EBS Microbass II and I was more than happy. It allowed me to catch up especially bad amps in the studio with a set of repeated finger and one for the game to pick. No staining of catching up but effective.
In my Ashdown, it does not serve me much except for having two different EQ.
And so I tried the VT Bass hesitant to move from EBS SansAmp staining for more rock. Given the rave reviews on the AF and stuff seen on YouTube, it looked like. Although I'm always wary of view a bit too fiery if I do not know the person.
And here I must say it's a vamp. All the reviews I read here does not lie. It is very disturbing.
I tried everything:
- Live in with my MOTU card emulation LA2A ass and a bit of EQ DSP, and hop in logic.
- To send / return on my Ashdown ... ah ben is more of Ashdown for the coup. But the mix of the two allows me to have a huge sound. Tried in his "clear" (with Rick sound does not resemble a modern clean sound) and overdrive with my BSE. Or by setting VT Bass Overdrive (I love the sound).
- With all the configs available on the Rick pickups.
Each time, I found my happiness in some shooting knobs. I want all the sounds, the type SVT, the flip top (which sounds really good on my rick), sounds more crunchy and aggressive.
So I regret my impatience, I should wait for the Deluxe version available with multiple presets for different settings in live and use it also in overdrive. So I keep the 10 for the Deluxe version.
OVERALL OPINION
I do not think I ever put 10 in a notice. Ben there I did not hesitate.
The pros:
- Size and weight: it is small and lightweight
- The sound
- The effectiveness of settings
- Packaging: I know who cares but like any Apple Addict, I am also sensitive to the box. And there it comes in a beautiful metal box black and gold that can serve tea box (finally dried plant
). I say it's class.
The -:
- Not possible to switch off the speaker simulation
- A real XLR DI output Msieur Techtwentyone!
I would do this not only choice but also as a guitarist, I have the British and the Blonde. I think as soon as Leeds draw (Hiwatt simulation), I'm still going to ruin me.
But I think I'll sell this as soon as the VT Bass Deluxe is no longer output to keep it. Because if I had the opportunity to have 6 presets I in a single box all my configs: clean modern fingers, clean modern plectrum, fingers to Clean vintage, vintage clean the mediator, mediator crunch, distortion. And I know how these sounds only on the VT Bass now so it does lack the ability to automatically redial on stage. For the studio, a good book and a pen suffice to recall the presets on my VT Bass
I wonder how I Tech21 ignored for so long (after years of modeling Line6 which fortunately did not manage to screw up my ears).
EDIT after 10 months of intensive use: well for once, I not only have not changed my opinion but I am just as dependent (within the meaning of the word junkie) boiboite this as my Rickenbacker 4003. I take it everywhere and it saves me every time. Even on a small sound system in a bar, I have a real sound (kind Stagepass 500 Yamaha). I still bought the Deluxe but I sold all the other pedals (except my tuner of course).
